Third House

The Third House

The third house, bhratri or ‘brother’, is the house of younger siblings. It also relates to our friends and close companions. The third house is also parakram, which means courage. It reflects our survival skills as the new soul continues its evolution. It relates to our ability to assert ourselves, and communicate effectively in the expanding environment we attract either as younger brothers and sisters arrive on the scene, or we develop relationships with our peers. At this point in our evolution, we may have little or no choice about whether others like or dislike us. If someone dislikes us, we can either endure it or learn to develop the skills to change their perception by establishing a point of contact with them. Through these relationships, we can begin to acquire the attributes of parakram, courage. Additionally, our instinct to care for and protect younger siblings or companions may be awakened.
